BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Field of the Invention

The invention relates generally to the field of injury-preventive gear, and more particularly, to athletic helmet-facemasks including attaching elements.

Background

In contact sports such as American football, injury is relatively common due to the collisions and force of impact between players. Over 4 million concussion and sports-related brain injuries occur each year with nearly 48,000 reported cases occurring in youth football leagues and 250,000 in high school football programs. It is also estimated that more than 35,000 injuries go undiagnosed annually.

Concussions, in particular, happen to be one of the most severe hazards for football players. Concussions occur from physical trauma to the cranial region and can result in serious life-long disabilities. Due to this danger, football helmets play a crucial role in player safety and concussion prevention.

Football helmets and the facemasks attached thereto are designed to absorb the impact energy generated from the collision with other players through material elastic deformation. Such a design is simple, but does not effectively absorb the impact forces that are commonly experienced by football helmets. Current facemasks do not transfer impact forces experienced by a player in an effective manner so as to maximize energy absorption and minimize inertial forces because of the manner they are attached to the football helmet.

While certain aspects of conventional technologies have been discussed to facilitate disclosure of the invention, Applicant in no way disclaims these technical aspects, and it is contemplated that the claimed invention may encompass one or more of the conventional technical aspects discussed herein.

In this specification where a document, act, or item of knowledge is referred to or discussed, this reference or discussion is not an admission that the document, act, or item of knowledge or any combination thereof was at the priority date, publicly available, known to the public, part of common general knowledge, or otherwise constitutes prior art under the applicable statutory provision; or is known to be relevant to an attempt to solve any problem with which this specification is concerned.

While the specification will conclude defining the features of exemplary embodiments of the disclosure that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the disclosure will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward.

Referring to FIGS. 1A through 1C, a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The first exemplary embodiment includes an athletic helmet-facemask system 1 comprising a helmet H, a facemask F, damping elements A1, A2, clips C (not shown in FIG. 1A-1C) and an attaching mechanism 2 (not shown in FIG. 1A-1C) including an attaching actuator 10 and an attaching receiver 11 which is disclosed below. The damping mechanism A1, A2 are mechanically coupled to the face mask and helmet in order to absorb facemask impacts and dissipate and/or reduces the impact energy transferred to the helmet's user. The athletic helmet-facemask assembly, more particularly the clips and damping mechanism, comprises attaching mechanism and face protection damping elements intended to fix a facemask gear to the helmet, as shown in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/249,735, U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 62/546,411 and U.S. Patent Provisional application No.62/423,160 included here by reference. The attaching mechanism 2 and damping mechanism A1, A2 extends away from the helmet toward the facemask.

Referring to FIGS. 2A through 2D, the facemask F is configured to strategically be fixed to the damping mechanism A1, A2 or by the damping mechanism A1, A2 at particular sections of the facemask F determined at absorbing points F1, F2. In the instant case, as shown in FIG. 2A through 3B, the facemask F comprises absorbing points F1, F2 located at the front and sides of the facemask F. Other absorbing point maybe added to the facemask F in order to reduce the impact energy from the facemask F to the helmet H. The facemask F comprises several exemplary configurations as shown in FIG. 3A through 3F. Each facemask configuration and/or shape is provided to transfer impact energy to particular locations on the facemask while avoiding the visual obstruction. The facemask F comprises several facemask bars mechanically coupled. The front part of facemask comprises an impact absorbing frontal section configuration F3. The spaces and point of contacts between the facemask bars assist with the energy dissipation.

As mentioned above the facemask F is attached to the helmet H by means of clips C and/or the damping mechanism A1, A2 using attaching mechanism 2. The attaching mechanism 2 and damping mechanism A1, A2 are explained below. In the exemplary embodiment, the first damping mechanism A1, A1′ is located at the top of the facemask and a second damping mechanism configuration is located at the side of the facemask F. The facemask F surrounds the damping mechanism A1, A2 and fixes the facemask by means of a platform pushing the facemask F toward the helmet H. The top damping mechanism as shown in FIG. 2a comprises two damping elements aligned at the top of the helmet or a single plaque, as shown in FIG. 2D. It is important to understand that in some configurations clips C are used to mechanically couple the facemask to the helmet. However, in other configurations the damping mechanism A1, A1′, A2, such in FIG. 2a through 2D, is used to press the facemask F against the helmet H by means of an attaching mechanism 2. The attaching mechanism 2 is used in both configurations to attach/fix a first part (i.e. helmet or platform of damping mechanism) to a second part (i.e. clip or platform of damping mechanism) through a hole or opening.

Referring to FIGS. 4, the first exemplary embodiment for the clips in accordance with principles of the present disclosure is presented, wherein said clip C holds the facemask while it is mechanically coupled to the damping mechanism A1, A2, more particularly by means of the attaching mechanism 2.
